Our very first time in Tokyo Japan June 2023, it was very stressful, my blood pressure up due to the complex train system... we were so lost but people are helpful... they would even walk us to our destination...but once you uncover the system, it will be all good... it is country where u can splurge or be frugal... vending machines everywhere... Also... bring cash... lots of it... sometimes credit card not accepted...its a country of law abiding citizens... u have to carry ur trash...very clean...very discipline❤

Japan is said to be a cash country but the digital money technology itself is super advanced. However, I heard that japan is making sure physical money is being circulated and being used as digital money use grows, because when and if a great outage happens, people would have cash to get by. These outages could happen from system errors, server facility being destroyed due to natural disaster or war, or hackers. Japan is being cautious with every technological advancement it makes that might impact their society. There is a huge risk being Hyper-Connected with the rest of the world over the digital system. It makes an entire country vulnerable to cyber attacks. When you see or hear about Japan being “late” in some technological areas, there’s always a reason behind it. It’s not because Japan doesn’t have the capability. It’s because Japan is being cautious and careful or they have their own agenda. China faced problems with digitalizing money everywhere. People in china dont keep much hard cash. When there were system outages, people werent able to buy food or make payments. They struggled.
It’s so clean, is what I would hear every tourist would say when I would have conversations with people. Love it! The bidet toilets are such a plus in Japan. Coming back to the US after was sad going to the restroom. Lol! My Japanese friend always said that the food/sushi is still so good quality in grocery and convenient stores and always such beautiful presentation. Enjoy your time in Japan!

Small tip to make arriving in japan a bit easier to navigate. They usually sell welcome suicas/or pasmos cards when you arrive at the major aiports. I think you can add them to your phone as well. Charge them at ticket machines, and then tap your phone or card where you would insert your ticket just before entering the platform. Then you dont need to buy the ticket separately. Those cards last 30 days I think. It is possible to get permanent pasmo and suica cards for longer stays.

I lived in Oskar in the 90's an it has always been amazing but strange. 7 Eleven and Lawson's are similar convenience stores. Because the food has to be sold near closing time supermarkets and convenience stores mark down their food. Please use the Soy and wasabi for the sashimi and sushi it is better that way. Love from New Zealand.

Welcome to Japan 😊. You guys are so smart visiting the supermarket the timing. You can get many items for cheap prices. Next time you should ask the workers free soy sauce for sushi and dressing for salad (if you don’t see any dressing on top of the salad, you can buy. It is about ¥30-50 for small portions. ) If you don’t have chopsticks, they will hand to you for free.

Japan has a strict health inspection for almost everything. So products for stores and even convenience stores have a short shelf life (which is better). But because of it, they have to throw away most of their products after 24 hours, so they half the price to try to sell it. It's a great deal

You may not have received free soy sauce from Life Shop. If that were the case, I think the sushi would be tasteless. Also, if your hotel does not have a microwave, it is efficient to use the LIFE SHOP microwave. If you have trouble using chopsticks, it is convenient to get a fork for free at a convenience store.

If you purchased a transportation card such as ICOCA or Suica with a 500 yen deposit and put 10,000 yen into it, you don't have to buy a ticket every time, and you can easily pass through the ticket gate smoothly. Furthermore, convenience stores, supermarkets, fast food chains, and most restaurants accept transportation cards such as ICOCA and Suica. You can also purchase them from about harf of vending machines. Please should do it a try. You can also install it on your smartphone. Many staffs work in convenient stores or coffees shopes are foreigners who are comming from east or east-sothern asia. They are used to be level down on the hospitality and servises skills.
